Download or read book New York written by Evelyn Hofer and published by . This book was released on 2018-06 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The starting point for Evelyn Hofer's New York is the 1965 book New York Proclaimed, which features an in-depth essay by V. S. Pritchett and photos by Hofer, and enjoyed great popularity upon its original publication. New York Proclaimed is an example of Hofer's perhaps most important body of work, her city portraits: books that present comprehensive prose texts by renowned authors alongside her self-contained visual essays with their own narratives. The newly conceived New York focuses on Hofer's photos of the 1960s as well as until now unpublished images from the early 1970s. In Hofer's photos of the street and (semi-)public spaces, people and architecture become symbols of a particular time and place. She immersed herself in New York society and captured these aspects of the everyday--inconspicuous and subtle, yet all the more enduring for being so--in images that invariably reflect the zeitgeist. New York contains a new essay by John Haskell which posits possible stories behind Hofer's photos and draws connections between images taken over the course of ten years.
Book Synopsis London Perceived by : Victor Sawdon Pritchett
Download or read book London Perceived written by Victor Sawdon Pritchett and published by David R. Godine Publisher. This book was released on 2001 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is a pithy and knowledgeable distillation of the London experience -- a panorama of its history, art, literature, and daily life. Here is the city that Londoners know, a paradox of grandeur and grime, the locus of bustling markets and tranquil parks, of the ancient and modern, of palaces and pubs, of docks and railroad depots. Great Londoners of the past stalk these pages -- Wren, Pepys, Defoe, Hogarth, Dickens, and of course, that consummate Londoner, Samuel Johnson, who said, "No, Sir, when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life, for there is in London all that life can afford." And here, too, are the faces of the people inhabiting 1960s London -- milkmen and master mariners, dockers and shopkeepers, messengers, Chelsea pensioners, and, inevitably, the London bobby. There is, as well, an analysis of the Londoner himself, enigmatic and enduring, with his remote but insistent respect for law, royalty, and ritual, his affection for argument, his toleration of eccentrics.
Book Synopsis The Stones of Florence by : Mary McCarthy
Download or read book The Stones of Florence written by Mary McCarthy and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2013-10-15 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A journey through the glorious Italian city’s scenery, history, and culture, from the New York Times–bestselling author of Venice Observed and The Group. Mary McCarthy’s classic celebrates the Italian city often looked upon as the provincial sister to the better-dressed, more “feminine” Venice. To McCarthy, Florence, or Firenze, is a place of ageless enchantment, from the Duomo to the fortressed palaces. The Renaissance began here; art and architecture flourished. From its roots as a center of medieval trade to its transformation into one of the world’s wealthiest cities, McCarthy charts Florence’s rich and turbulent history. She introduces a cast of towering real-life characters. Through her probing writer’s lens, the poetry of Dante and the magnificent artistry of Raphael and Botticelli come vibrantly alive. Along this illuminating journey, McCarthy offers fascinating bits of trivia: There are no ruins in Florence because the Florentines aren’t sentimental about their past; America took its name from a Florentine traveler named Amerigo Vespucci. From Michelangelo to the Medicis to the story behind a statue’s missing head, The Stones of Florence is Mary McCarthy’s hymn to this unique city. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Mary McCarthy including rare images from the author’s estate.
Download or read book Evelyn Hofer written by Evelyn Hofer and published by Steidl. This book was released on 2004 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evelyn Hofer has photographed famous contemporaries and ordinary people in the Basque region, and recently, this passionate portrait photographer has turned married couples and people on the street into her subjects. But Hofer can also wait patiently for hours until her frame contains no people at all. Then she adds the pure beauty of the countryside or a venerable old building to a stark and timeless composition. Throughout her long photographic career, Hofer has sought both motion and stillness and balanced and revealed these qualities through the most diverse moments. This extensive monograph on the varied facets of her life's work shows her warm-hearted and incorruptible look at people and their surroundings. Containing photographs from Florence, London, Spain, New York, Washington, Dublin and Paris, along with a wealth of portraits, landscapes and architectural photography, this book concludes with Hofer's most recently completed work, a series of picturesque still lifes.

Book Synopsis Art as Jewellery by : Louisa Guinness
Download or read book Art as Jewellery written by Louisa Guinness and published by Antique Collector's Club. This book was released on 2018 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The women in Man Ray's life, as well as his reverence for the female form more broadly, were reflected in his jewellery. He kept the wearer in mind with each piece; never impractical or obtrusive, his jewels played with illusion, language and form as he employed the medium to further explore the artistic preoccupations of his career." Art as Jewellery is a visually stunning introduction to jewellery made by the titans of twentieth and twenty-first century art. From Salvador Dali, Man Ray, Alexander Calder and Pablo Picasso, through to Anish Kapoor, Damien Hirst and Grayson Perry, the great figures of modern art have all turned both thought and talent to jewellery. Often, they have eschewed the traditional jeweller's preoccupation with material value and provenance, more concerned with the conceptual or aesthetic significance of their work. As is fitting for a book that covers a range of artists, every image is as striking as it is unique. By using contemporary pictures, Art as Jewellery develops a chronological timeline of jewellery presentation. Its pages are home to a stunning variety of design sketches and photographs. Some were shot by renowned 20th century photographers, such as Ugo Mulas and Antonia Mulas, while others have been buried in archives for decades, unseen since the '60s. In contrast, modern works have been given model treatment by top photographer Alexander English, making this book a glamorous blend of new and classic jewellery art. AUTHOR: Author Louisa Guinness, collector and gallery owner, provides insightful commentary on each artist and their work. Her input can be felt on a personal level; having worked alongside many of these artists as they developed their jewellery, she is in the perfect position to reveal the personal stories behind these pieces creation. Full-page colour photographs and sketches, some showing the artist at work in the studio, or with their muse, accompany each profile. Louisa also explores each artist in the context of the genre's evolution, looking at the key exhibitions that have shaped the interest of artists and collectors. This book will be of interest to jewellery and art lovers alike. SELLING POINTS: * Includes an introduction by Vivienne Becker, an award-winning jewellery writer, and a contribution from Julia Peyton Jones, previous director of the Serpentine Gallery, London * A marvellous array of images, from archived photographs and sketches that have not been seen since the '60s, and the work of 20th-century photographers such as Ugo Mulas and Antonia Mulas, to modern shoots by Alexander English 200 colour images

Download or read book Hutterite written by Kelly Hofer and published by . This book was released on 2016-09-26 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Hutterite by Kelly Hofer" is a 240‑page annotated book of photographs depicting(for the first time from the inside) the non‑staged, colorful, and often mystified experience of growing up as ahutterite teenager on the Canadian prairies. Hofer captured the photos between the ages of 11 and 19 in hiscommunity and in neighboring colonies in Manitoba. In 2012, he made the life‑changing, difficult decision to leave the colony and publically come out as gay, igniting a national, mainstream conversation about LGBT hutterites for the first time. Hofer, now an accomplished photographer, technology/textile artist, and LGBT activist, has assembled this book in the hopes an honest portrayal from the inside will demystify the hutterite lifestyle."I started photographing life around me at age 11 and just saw it as a form of art. I didn't consider my workor this series as a 'project' until leaving the colony in 2012, when I quickly realized just how misunderstood andmysterious the hutterite lifestyle is to outsiders," said Hofer. "All of the people in the book are my family, friends,community or neighboring colonies in Manitoba. With both perspectives on life I now have, it's the right time forme to release the book and show the remarkable beauty of Hutterite life."
